“The attack in Boulder is another example of a wave of domestic terror attacks aimed at the Jewish community. This must be the highest priority for the Trump Administration and Congress.  The following steps, endorsed by Jewish organizations across the ideological spectrum, must be taken: 
 

1. Congress increase Nonprofit Security Grant (NSGP) funding to $1 billion to meet the urgent and growing need and demand. The process is cumbersome and lacks transparency, and should be made more flexible and accessible, and ensure funds are disbursed quickly. Last year only 43% of applicants received funding. 

2. The government dedicate funding to meet the urgent need for additional security personnel at Jewish institutions, such as day schools and yeshivas, synagogues, Jewish early childhood centers, JCCs, and summer camps. 

3. The FBI increase its intelligence capabilities to prioritize and thwart domestic terrorism and receive whatever funding it needs to do so.  

4. The government increase funding for local police and law enforcement to create capacity for both monitoring and protecting Jewish institutions. The demands on local and state law enforcement far outpace their capacity to meet the need, which disproportionately affects targeted communities like the American Jewish community. 

5. The government aggressively prosecute antisemitic hate crimes and extreme violence to the full extent of the law. 
  

6. The government holds social media, gaming, messaging, and other online platforms accountable for amplification of antisemitic hate, glorification of terrorism, extremism, disinformation, and incitement.”
